Welcome! We're a young married couple who had a simple goal of living in the woods, buying land and a tiny house. We lived in the tiny house from 2012-2013 then sold it.

When I was 26 and my husband was 22, we decided that we wanted to homestead. I was a waitress and he was making $10 an hour at a health food store in Dallas. Neither of us had saved more than a few hundred dollars in our life and had no financial mentors. We were living paycheck to paycheck the day we decided that we were ready to committ to living our dream. For the first time ever, I sat down and looked at every penny we spent and saw very little room for saving. I reviewed everything in our life and came up with a plan. We saved $24,000 in 18 months using a simple plan that can be implemented on day one. With that money we were able to buy our tiny house and land.

Update!Since 2012 I've offered my free HOW-TO ebook so that anyone wanting to save money and own their own tiny house & land could follow our simple steps. 3 years after we left our land I'm a different person. The year in the woods was as much of a beautiful experience as it was the last straw to my former self. Rereading my ebook feels pretty embarrassing, like reading an old immature journal so I've taken down.

If you're interested in how we saved a $24,000 in 18 months while working crappy jobs watch this old money video I made explaining our process.
